Was Ali really the greatest?

[FLYBOY]

Ali is the greatest and his resume proves it. He beat a majority of the heavyweights that are ranked top 10 of all time, in the division.

Moreover, his character surpasses every single athlete's character. We did not even get to see his prime years since he was jailed by the U.S. Government. Like Cus D'mato once told Mike Tyson, "you will never see a man like Muhammad Ali again".

yes. the greatest HW that is, which is what he means anyways. robinson was the greatest fighter.

[Grand Champ]

Yes, He was the greatest. Fought and beat the best in the toughest era of boxing. Got the best resume I can think off.. Faced adversity and overcame it like Ive never seen. Beat the best.. Even in fights where they said he would get beat (badly) .. He was entertaining in and outside of the ring, a good ambassador for the sport. Ali is the greatest IMO.

he was the best of his era but would never be able to handel the size and power of lenix lewis or the klitschkos, or the raw power and agressive styels of dempsey- tyson -joe louis.so the answer is no

Your an idiot

He would most likely get a UD or SD over Lennox, Knockout Wlad, UD over Vitali.
UD over Louis, UD over Tyson, dont know enough about Dempsey to predict on how he would lose.

No, Ali isn't "the greatest", he's top-ten though. I've watched almost all of Ali's wins and he isn't nearly as impressive as the writers made/make him sound. I think he tends to get overrated because of his political activism controversies like draft dodging and his "black power" ties to the racist Malcolm X.

I know what you mean. I was recently rewatching ali/foreman an was laughing at Ali, 80% of the fight he was running for the ropes not because it was his plan (as he later claimed) but because he was scared ****less of Foreman's power, even when he blocked the punches. End of the day though, he won.
